Keith Ellison with Louis Farrakhan at a dinner in 2013.
In his statewide debate this past weekend Keith Ellison defended his ties to Louis Farrakhan, saying Farrakhan had “some things to offer” in the early 1990s.
In 1984, Farrakhan made headlines for calling Judaism a “gutter religion” and Hitler “a very great man.”

In 1993, Farrakhan told women: “You’re a failure if you can’t keep a man.”
In 1994, Farrakhan said: “Murder and lying comes easy for white people.”
All this came *before* Ellison praised him as “a role model” in 1995, and was photographed selling Farrakhan’s newspaper in 1998.
